Kimberley Walsh's beauty secrets

The Girls Aloud star talks to Cosmo about surgery, salons and the summer beauty buys she can't live without...

I like to pack products that I know will protect my hair and skin against the sun. I like using Murad moisturizer with SPF to stop my face burning and Schwarzkopf Supersoft Yoghurt & Coconut Smoothie conditioner keeps my hair looking healthy and nourished. I always pack Right Guard Xtreme Dry For Women to keep me fresh and dry no matter how hot and sticky the weather gets.

What's in your beauty bag at the moment?

I love Benefit makeup at the moment, especially the Bad Gal eyeliner and Hoola Bronzer. I'm also a big fan of 'Material World' lipstick by Nicola's Dainty Doll – a warm pink shade is perfect for summer.

Does your boyfriend Justin prefer you looking made-up or au naturel?

Definitely au naturel! After seeing me looking glamorous and groomed for work, I think it is refreshing for him to see me without any makeup on. I'm lucky that I don't have to always make an effort!

How do you feel most confident?

Even though Justin prefers me au naturel, I always feel more confident when I have a little bit of makeup on. I like to keep it simple with mascara and a touch of lipgloss, it's not always necessary to pile it on.

Yes and no. I've always tried not to be influenced by being in the spotlight but I definitely find it easier now than when I first joined the group. I think there is more to life than worrying about looks, as long as you take care of yourself and you are happy in our own skin then that's all that matters.

Not that we think you'd need to, but would you ever consider cosmetic surgery to enhance your youth?

Never say never but it's not something I'd consider at the moment. The thought of surgery scares me!

What beauty treatments do you have and where are your favourite salons?

I don't really have time to go for regular treatments, but when I do get a rare day off I love to unwind with a relaxing massage. I don't have a favourite salon at the moment as I'm always trying out new places.

How do you stay calm and confident under pressure?

Being under pressure is part of my job so I don't really have a choice, I know I have to hold it together. I don't think I'm calm and confident all the time, but when I am nervous I think I can hide it well!

What made you decide to front Right Guard Xtreme Dry For Women?

I have a really busy lifestyle so I need an antiperspirant that I can rely on. New Right Guard Xtreme Dry For Women lasts for up to 72 hours so I know it will keep me fresh and dry no matter how hectic my schedule gets.

Kimberley is the face of Right Guard Xtreme Dry for Women – the first female antiperspirant from Right Guard, that is scientifically proven to tackle wetness and body odour for up to 72 hours. Available now, £2.29.
